Badgers' inexperienced linemen taking advantage of 1st-team reps this spring

Two of the University of Wisconsin's best offensive linemen aren't participating due to injury this spring.

Two others with starting experience sat out team drills at times over the past month, while a fifth-year senior without any earned high praise from offensive coordinator and offensive line coach Joe Rudolph on Tuesday.

There are plenty of reps to go around and ample opportunity for younger talent at the position this spring, and projecting the Badgers' starting five isn't quite as easy as it appeared only a few weeks earlier.

"I'm getting there, but I wouldn't say," Rudolph said when asked if he could identify his best five linemen.
